what warm words passed between members OF tho

Gen. Howard ON the Indian Situation.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
On Saturday last Major Gen Howard returned
to the city from Los Angeles, whittier he had gone
to confer with Gen. Miles on the late Indian
troubles and to take action for checking future
outbreaks He said that Gen. Miles asked to be
allowed to deal with the Indians in his own way
and he had given him that authority. The late
troubles with the Navajos in Western New Mexico
had been caused by the incursion OF a band of
horse stealers who called themselves settlers who
were driven on with the loss OF several men. Gen.
Howard said there were 1000 OF these warriors,
and ii they once made an upnst1g 1t would be
decidedly lively for all concerne6 The nearest
post this tribe Is Fort Wingate and the Indians
are all through the country from Fort Wingate
to Fort Apache. Trouble had been predicted,
but Gen. Howard said that he had hopes for the
best. At the San Carlos Reservation there has
been much sickness of late, and the death OF
many OF the young Indian children has caused
some discomfort and a desire to move away.
Those who insist on going to q healthier locality
will be allowed to depart, and It Is thought that
all will shortly be well again.

To Witness EvfctiOuS.

TIE REASON WHY Mr.. BLAINE LEFT DUBLIN 30
SUDDENLY.
It has been made known, says cablegram
from London, that MI. Blatnes departure from
Dublin for Cork, to the former OF which places he
intends to return, was taken for the purpose Of
personally witnessing some evtctions which he
was advised would take place near Cork. It ap-
pears that he informed friend OF desire to see
for himself precisely the extent to which evicted
tenants were subjected to hardship and cruelty,
In order that he might prepare an absolute and
correct digest Of his observations, and his unex-
pectedly short stay In Dublin is accounted for BY
the fact that the opportunity he sought was
almost Immediately obtained. Mr.. Blaine's repu-
tatiOn as friend OF home rule preceded him and
his tour of Ireland Will undoubtedly be made al
pleasant as possible. His name Is known In the
South OF Ireland almost as well as It Il In America

Advice to COlOred IIen.

THE JOURNALISTS CONVENTION DISCUSSES POLITICS
AND ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS.
At Louisville in the National ColOred Press AS
sociation, yesterday, long debate on politics
occurred. Alexander Clark, OF Baltimore said
that negroes would be a mere cipher as an inde-
pendent party. They should adhere to the repub-
hcan party. II they did not like to do this they
should be ruled out. The republicans were going
TO take possession OF things again. The mug
wumps can't amount to much, as they form a
company OF sorehead rerormers. The negro who
deserts the republican party Is a traitor to the
living and dead. and it is wonder that the ghosts
OF the great departed statesmen who founded the
party do not come forth and confront them.
Professor p. II. Murray said that so long as
negroes were regarded as the political enemy
OF any party just that long would they have that
party to fight and oppose their interests. They
should support the party which was best at the
present time, not that which was best in the past
Resolutions were adopted demanding equal
privileges In places OF public instruction and in
discriminate rights on common carriers and in
places OF public accommodation and entert ain
ment; denouncing the act OF the Georgia Legisia-
ture rOrbidding colored children to be taught the
same place with the whites; recommending the
establishment OF a national bureau OF infOrna-
ton TO ascertain the extent and nature or lawleSS-
ness and mob vtOlence against colored iaen and
adopt means for the betUerment OF the present un-
fortunate state OF affairs
